Cohen Lab

Cohen Lab The Cohen Lab is a research lab at UNC-Chapel Hill that studies cognitive development in children

We use MRI to study how the brain changes across development and how those changes in the brain are related to behavior and school performance. Our main goal is to understand how the brain works so we can help improve learning. We are currently looking for volunteers with and without ADHD between the ages of 10 and 12 years for the BrainMAP Study (https://cohenlab.web.unc.edu/research/brainmap/).
